  • Used 1.25 oz Rittenhouse, will use 1.5 oz next time. Otherwise, a flavorful, somewhat sweet cocktail. Perhaps reduce the Averna?
  • Might use 1 ds of bitters

Can you estimate a splash of Campari so it's reproduceable by other users? Thanks,  Zachary

lesliec commented on 11/23/2016:

Delicious with Tin Cup Colorado whiskey. I used a barspoon of Campari.

IamNotStiller commented on 12/30/2022:

i didn't have Xocolatl Mole bitters available, subbed in 1/2 angostura and 1/2 black walnut and it was great.

Best use of passion fruit besides the Hurricane. I used puree, but it worked fine and still allowed rums to come through.

  • Bold and beautiful. Also goes well with an orange garnish. Closer to 1:1:1 ratios works well too.
  • I liked this. A lot. Made it with Xicaru Reposado mezcal, and strongly recommend a lime shave over a lemon twist. Also use a proportion of 2:1:1 Mezcal:Antica:Campari, which is my typical Negroni formula

MOJO1229 commented on 1/01/2017:

<br />One fine Mezcal drink! For me, Mezcal took some getting used to because of its smokiness: some Mezcal-based drinks were barely drinkable; a fair number were OK, but...; only a few were anything to write home about. This drink, the Oaxacan Negroni, is in the last category. In fact, I couldn't write home fast enough about it. Yes, it has a smokey taste, but it's competing with other strong tastes, especially Campari. However, even the subtle notes of the Antica Formula vermouth (such as its vanilla notes) get through to make a georgous, tasteful drink that is not easy to put down--until the glass is empty. I had an easy time rating this drink, at 5.0. It is truly a wonderful drink to sip and relish its many flavors and complexity.

scerchio commented on 4/19/2020:

I liked this. A lot. Made it with Xicaru Reposado mezcal, and a 2:1:1 ratio of mezcal:vermouth:Compari (my standard Negroni formula), and strongly recommend a lime peel shave over a lemon twist.

  • First sip screams bitter, as expected, but subsequent sips allow orange and caramel through. Maybe too sweet by the end; would rye work well here? — ★★★★

<br />
A georgous bourbon negroni-style drink! I rate few drinks as a 5.0, but I rated the Boulevardier (Stagger Lee) as a 5.0 without hesitation. I noticed one user said "First sip screams bitter..." Myself, I made sure to use less than 7/8 oz of Campari, just to avoid issues of bitterness. The same user judged the drink perhaps too sweet toward the end of the drink, and suggested using rye instead of bourbon. I'm guessing the sweetness is due to the Cynar becoming more prominent as the large ice rock melted, and the drink became diluted. I avoided this by simply stirring with ice until cold (~30 seconds) and then pouring the drink into a chilled glass. In other words, I didn't use any ice after stirring. Thus, the drink's taste remained uniform, from beginning to end. And it was great!

Still Life

3⁄4 oz Kirschwasser
3⁄4 oz Apricot liqueur, Marie Brizard Apry
3⁄4 oz Maurin Quina
3⁄4 oz Orange liqueur, Orangerie
1 bsp Absinthe, Pernod (as float)
Instructions

Shake, strain, float absinthe.

Notes

In progress. Trying to get to a Florodora. Probably subbing Mirabelle for Kirsch and Heering for Quina. Needs rinse of absinthe. This is not as sweet as it seems.
